Abstract
Microwave staring imaging system has the capability of reconstructing unknown targets without the requirement for the relative motion between the radar platform and the targets. However, the targets within the 3dB of the radiation beam can not be resolved and consequently its imaging performance is strictly limited by the nominal resolution of the system. Therefore, we propose the novel microwave staring correlated imaging system based on the temporal-spatial stochastic radiation fields, to obtain more detailed information of the targets. Moreover, different from the traditional microwave staring imaging systems, the blurry performance is shared by all the scatters in the scene of interest. Therefore, a new resolution concept named the global resolution is proposed to describe the global resolving performance of the system. The numerical simulations prove that the proposed system has the capability of breaking the resolution limitation to realize super-resolution imaging performance.
